Angus and Bon is a New York style steakhouse but has now opened for brunch on the weekend and are serving up some satisfying breakfast options from 9 in the AM. The decor is classic and the food is comforting and what I can guarantee is a hearty breakfast full of flavour. They have some …
Roco Mamas originally started their restaurant in South Africa, they’ve opened stores all around the world and now they’re here in Melbourne. They’re famous for their racks of ribs, smash burgers and MOFO wings. Hot tip: using your hands to eat is the best way to devour this meal. We started with some cheese bombs …
Calling all pork lovers. This is seriously delicious stuff. Mr Crackles has opened in Melbourne and it’s what pork dreams are made of. They have slabs of juicy pork topped with crispy crackling. They’re serving up pork rolls, pork loaded fries, pork salads, you get the idea. If I had to choose one word to …

So today we ventured out into Melbourne’s 40 degree heat to celebrate Chinese New Year in the city. First stop Chinatown. They had the big dragon and the lion dances. I like when the lion jumps up and eats the lettuce, aww it’s so cute. Lettuce is hung above the doors of the restaurants with …
